Until the Switch 3 comes? I don't know, it could be a possibility but 2 more years for sure. What seems to be clear now is the fact, they won't axe the Switch anytime soon. Please, my english is not too bad i suppose, but could you please explain, what is meant by "dimishing returns"?

Diminishing returns means returns on investment getting smaller and smaller. Remember mini means something small.

Edit: He means the increments in technology are smaller and smaller compare to what they were in the past. I think that was your actual question.

Somehow I believe a possible scenario from now on forward for Nintendo could be to always have two generations at the same time on the market: Originial Switch will be on the market until Switch 3 comes out, Switch 2 will be on the market until Switch 4 comes out... . The diminishing returns in tech will become smaller and smaller. It would absolutely make sense to have always two generations on the market to maximize market penetration and profit (especially with sales of software). The sales of the older generation will not hurt the newer generation as the lifecycle will have changed into overlapping generations.

Agreed.  For the last sentence: the idea of each console having a unique gimmick would support this.  I don't think it will be a big deal, perhaps Switch 2 has analog triggers or something, I think Nintendo is done with the selling point gimmick. 

Still, as you said, you'd want to avoid cutting into new sales with old and I think the Switch is completely gassed.  A big bump in GFX and horsepower would breathe new life into old Switch games.
